George's Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story where all the adventures are based on real science. It is a journey across space to learn more about the Universe in which we live and a journey through physics - the laws that govern the Universe - to understand more about it. But it's also the story of a lonely boy and how his life changes when he meets his new next-door neighbours, Annie and Eric. Annie is mad about the ballet and Eric, her father, is a scientist. Eric works with a computer called Cosmos who is so powerful and so clever he can draw you a doorway, through which you can walk (if you're wearing a space suit that is! It's very cold in space, around -270 C) to any point in the known Universe.

Now, my computer and yours may not be as powerful as Cosmos, but we've still got some wonderful and exciting pictures to show you on our website. You too can see some of the amazing sights in outer space that George discovers. Like George, you can go on a journey to places that no other human being has been before.

Writing this book with my dad, Stephen Hawking was a lot of fun for both of us. So I hope you enjoy George's Secret Key to the Universe and I hope you want to come back to hear more about George's adventures next year, when he takes off once more, destination unknown . . .

The Flower of Life (FOL) is a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles, that are arranged so that they form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry like a hexagon.

Leonardo da Vinci has studied the Flower of Life's form and its mathematical properties. He has drawn the Flower of Life itself, as well as components therein, such as the Seed of Life. He has drawn geometric figures representing shapes such as the platonic solids, a sphere, a torus, etc., and has also used the golden ratio of phi in his artwork; all of which may be derived from the Flower of Life design.

Monad being the source or the One meaning without division.
Monism is often erroneously seen in relation to pantheism, panentheism, and an immanent God. However, the concepts of absolutism, the monad, and the "Universal substrate" are closely related.
